Verdict explanation
claim // fcc2c9d3-6cfd-4448-b6d7-e225637b0b63
Reasoning:
Heiko von der Leyen is listed as "Medical Director" on Orgenesis's own management team page1, and his LinkedIn profile confirms the role "Medical Director at Orgenesis Inc. (Sep 2020 to present)"2.
Wikipedia states that "since December 2020, he is Medical Director of the company Orgenesis, which specialises in cell and gene therapies"3.
Orgenesis is described as the "American biotechnology company Orgenesis," which focuses on cell and gene therapy research, with Heiko holding the position since 20204; another source calls it a "U.S.-based biotechnology company"5.
Multiple independent sources (company site, LinkedIn, Wikipedia, business databases, and a fact-checking outlet) consistently confirm both the role and the company's American identity.
